Damascus-Sana
The fourth stage of the Premier League, which starts on Friday, will witness a heavy caliber confrontation between the defending champions Al-Jaish and the runners-up of the previous edition in the evacuation stadium in Damascus.
The game is expected to be strong, offensive and quick from both teams, especially as they have a group of players who are considered the best in the league.
The game is of paramount importance to the army, who want to compensate for the sudden loss in the previous stage to the Nawa'ir and thus progress in the ladder of the rankings, while October Almnchy seeks a big victory over Al Jazeera to win the three points and consolidate its top of the table.
In the stadium of Al-Basel, Latakia Hattin, a hard-paced, well-thought-to-meet opponent of Hama and defending champions Al-Jaish in the previous stage, will meet in a match where both teams seek to win and follow their positive results.
In Hama, the struggling vanguard against Al Ittihad in the previous round will meet bottom side Jebla, both of whom are aiming to win to overcome their poor start in the league so far.
In the rest of the matches, the coast meets with Al Karama in the Tartous Hall and Al Wathba with the bully in Al Basel Stadium in Homs and the police with Al Ittihad in Al Fayha Stadium in Damascus and Al Jazeera with Al Wahda in the Youth Welfare Stadium in Aleppo.
The previous stage resulted in Tishreen's victory over Al-Jazira 4-2 and Al-Nuwair against Al-Jaysh and Al-Ittihad on the same score with 2-1, Al-Wahda on Al-Sahel 2-0 and Hittin on Jableh 1-0, while Al-Fatwa tied with the police negatively while Al Karama match with Al-Wathba was postponed.
Tishreen leads with seven points, followed by Hittin with the same balance, followed by Unity with six points, followed by police, water and fatwa, each with five points, Al Wathba and Al Ittihad with four points, then the Army and the coast, each with three points, Al Jazeera and Al Talia by one point, then Al Karama and Jabla without points.
